Chapter 177

  Although the two guests are people of Zhong Tian, it does not mean that they can identify with what Zhong Tian has done, nor does it mean that the two can accept the arrogance and behavior of the Zhong family flying high.

  Perhaps it was because of Tang Yin's transformation that this Zhong Sang was too much like him, whether in appearance or personality, they were exactly the same, making people feel annoyed at first sight. Not to mention the soldiers below who didn't recognize him, even the two gate guests were unaware. If during this period, the two could slightly use their discerning skills, they would immediately discover that the Zhong Sang in front of them was an imposter. Unfortunately, the two were also deceived by this thorough and complete Zhong Sang.

  Apart from the unexpected twist with Wu Mei, everything else went smoothly. After Zhong Sang took away the people from Zi Yang's and Wu's households, he finally arrived at the prison cell of the Liang household.

  No matter how arrogant and narrow-minded Liang Xing was, the Liang family was indeed a talented family among the four major powers. Liang Xing's several sons were not simple in ability, including the later famous Liang Qi, who was known as the "Ghost General" and "Long Victory General". He had already shown his talent when he lifted the siege of Tongmen.

  To the Liang family, Tang Yin was both disgusted and grateful. When he was first reused by the imperial court, it was Liang Xing who advised Zhang Hua to transfer him directly from Yancheng to the remote Pingyuan County. However, if he hadn't gone to Pingyuan County, Tang Yin wouldn't be where he is today. This was his good fortune in misfortune, not because of Liang Xing's kindness.

  Looking at the cunning and treacherous Liang Xing being locked up, Tang Yin felt both angry and amused. If he hadn't devoted all his energy to fighting for power and had paid a little attention to the Zhong family, with his intelligence and deep strategic thinking, how could he not have seen through the Zhong family's sinister plot? How could he have ended up in this prison disaster today?

  "Liáng Xìng, Liáng Xiàng, another one is already dead inside, now it's your turn to go." Táng Yín deliberately scared him.

  Liang Xing's body shook slightly, his eyes rolling around wildly, as if he was thinking of some mischievous plan.

  After the prison guard opened the cell door, Liang Xing rushed out first and went to Zhong Sang's side, asking in a low voice: "Zhong... General Zhong, does your uncle really want to execute us?"

  "Hmph!" Zhong Sang rolled his eyes in the dark and responded with a snort of laughter.

  Liang Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he had a premonition that disaster was looming over him. He said in a low voice: "General Zhong, can you please inform your uncle for me? Tell him... tell him that Liang Xing is willing to acknowledge him as king, and ask him to spare my family." As he spoke, Liang Xing's eyes darted back and forth, occasionally glancing around, as if afraid of being overheard.

  This old fox! If it were really Zhong Sang, he might be fooled by his words, but this Zhong Sang is actually Tang Yin in disguise. How can you believe his nonsense? With Liang Xing's personality, if he could willingly submit to Zhong Tian, that would be strange indeed. The reason for saying so is just a precautionary measure, who knows what he's plotting behind the scenes!

  He thought to himself, but couldn't say it out loud. He smiled and nodded, saying: "After all, Director Liang is a man who understands the situation and knows how to adapt. This is much better than those two old stubborn men. Don't worry, I'll pass on your words."

  "Thank you, General Zhong!" Liang Xing was dug and damaged by him, his face turned red and white, but he didn't dare to offend him in the slightest, and instead thanked him repeatedly.

  "Stop nagging and hurry up!" Zhong Sang was even more blunt with him, almost kicking his feet.

  Liang's family, Wu's family and Zi Yang's family, totaling over 600 people, were all taken out of the dungeon and brought to the back door of the Zhong mansion, where they were pushed into horse-drawn carriages by groups of soldiers.

  It was a place of life and death, Tang Yin did not dare to stay for long, went out of the back door, got on his horse, waved his hand at the soldiers below, and shouted: "All of you go back, remember, absolutely cannot be careless, take good care of the rest of those officials, if something unexpected happens, I want your heads."

  "Yes! General!" Yu Kuan hastily ran forward and asked obsequiously: "Do you need me to bring some brothers to escort the general together?"

  Zhongsan raised an eyebrow and coldly snorted: "What business is it of yours? Scram!"

  Yu Kuan patted the horse's leg, shrunk his neck and backed away with a dry smile. Zhong Sang sat upright on the horse, waved his hand and shouted: "Go!"

  Rustle, rustle - the convoy moved slowly forward, and after exiting the small alley, it sped up on the main road, naturally not heading to the Wang Palace, but instead rushing straight to Yue Zijie's mansion.

  With Zhao's token, they encountered no obstruction or inspection on the road and returned smoothly to the mansion.

  When they arrived at the gate, everyone stopped pretending and got off the carriage, opening the rear door and urging those inside to get off quickly.

  Liang, Wu and Zi Yang's families all thought they would be secretly executed by Zhong Tian, and now they must have arrived at the execution ground. But after coming out, they took a closer look and found that it was not an execution ground at all, but in front of a civilian house.

  Zi Yang Hao Chun was the first to lose his temper. At this time, the cloth strip on his mouth had been torn off, and he shouted loudly: "Zhong Sang, what do you mean by bringing us here? If you want to kill or torture us, just get it over with quickly, don't play tricks on me."

  At this time, Zhong Sang came to the front of Zi Yang Hao Chun, the look of light and arrogance on his face had been lost, and he was full-faced and dignified. He clasped his hands and said: "General Zi Yang, I made you suffer a little earlier."

  His attitude suddenly made a one hundred and eighty degree turn, and Zi Yang Hao Chen was stunned, not knowing what kind of evil intentions Zhong Sang had in mind, making him offer his services so eagerly.

  He glared at Zhong Sang with utmost vigilance and asked in a stern voice: "What are you going to do?"

  Zhong Sang didn't answer, but instead turned around and faced away from Zi Yang Hao Chun. After a moment, he turned back again, smiling: "General, take a look at who I am?"

  Zi Yang Hao Chun heard the words and looked at his face, stunned for a moment. Zhong Sang was still Zhong Sang, with unchanged clothes and body shape, but his face had changed into a handsome smiling face.

  "You... you're Tang... Tang Yin?"

  Zi Yang Hao was shocked and exclaimed with his eyes wide open and his mouth agape.

  "That's right!" Tang Yin smiled and nodded, then said: "Just now in the prison, I was disrespectful to the general, just to pretend, let Zhong Tian's dog believe my identity, if there is any offense, I hope General Hai will forgive me."

  This sudden change was too stunning, and Zi Yang Hao Chen couldn't react for a long time. He stood still on the spot, numbly nodding his head, without saying a word.

  Tang Yin didn't have time to deal with him, so he called upon Shangguan Yuanrang to use the spiritual soldiers to cut off the chains on Zi Yanghaosun's body. At this moment, the hidden arrow personnel also withdrew their shadowy avatars, drew out their knives, and displayed the spirit of the soldiers, cutting away the iron locks that bound the hands and feet of the three families' people.

  Not to mention Zi Yang Hao's stunned expression, others were equally shocked.

  Tang Yin strode into the crowd in large strides, raised his voice and said: "I am Tang Yin, the governor of Tianyuan County. This time I sneaked into Yancheng, disguised as Zhong Sang, just to rescue you all. If you want to follow me, don't make a fuss or shout. There is a secret passage here that can take us out of the city!"

  His words made everyone suddenly wake up, others may not know Tang Yin, but most of the dancers knew him. At this time, seeing that Zhong Sang was actually Tang Yin in disguise, the dancers were both surprised and delighted, especially Wu Yu. The old man almost got excited and fainted, quickly walking to his side, grabbing his hand and saying with a trembling voice: "Tang Xian nephew, it's really you!"

  If in the past, Wu Yu was not so polite to Tang Yin, and would not have called him a virtuous nephew, but now the situation is different. Tang Yin's identity is now that of a majestic prefect, with an army of 200,000 under his command, and he is the only one who can save them from death. Whether Wu Yu is being sincere or intentionally flattering, he can only try to please and rely on Tang Yin.

  "Let's go!" Tang Yin didn't waste any words, he just slightly cupped his hands in greeting and said: "Time is pressing, you must leave now!" As he spoke, he turned to Cheng Jin and said: "Distribute the Spirit Gathering Pills to everyone, then lead them to the tunnel!"

  "Adult, what about you?" From Tang Yin's tone, it seems like he doesn't plan on going with the crowd.

  Tang Yin smiled and said: "I still have to stay behind and save one more person!"

  At this time, Yu suddenly remembered that Mei was still in Zhong Tian's hands and hastily said: "Tang Xian nephew, Xiao Mei she..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand to interrupt him: "I already know, Wu Xiang doesn't need to worry, I will think of a way to rescue Wu Mei."

  Yu nodded, wanting to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back. Now he had the heart but not the strength, and whether or not they could successfully rescue Yu Mei depended on Tang Yin alone.

  In fact, the spiritual cultivators of the three families, Liang, Wu and Zi Yang, are not few in number. Although they have now taken the Spirit Gathering Pill, after all, they have been taking the Spirit Dispelling Pill for too long, and it will take some time to recover.

  "Boss!" Cheng Jin said seriously: "We'll stay and help you!"

  Tang Yin originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking twice, he nodded in agreement and said: "The true body leaves, the divided body stays behind!"

  Cheng Jin took a deep breath, they didn't have Tang Yin's cultivation level that high, and the distance between his shadow clone and real body couldn't be maintained as far as Tang Yin's. The clone stayed in the city while his real body left, but it probably wouldn't last for long either. He worriedly said: "Sir, this way our clones will probably disappear soon."

  Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "It's okay! You just need to do your best."

  "That adult's true form..."

  "I'll stay outside the city! Oh, and don't reveal my true identity among you."

  Upon hearing this, Cheng Jin and the Shangguan brothers nodded in agreement while also breathing a sigh of relief. As long as their true bodies were not within the city, the danger would be greatly reduced.

  At this time, Wu Ying walked over and looked at Tang Yin with suspicion, asking: "Are you really Tang Yin?"

  Tang Yin smiled at her and asked in return, "If not, who else could it be?"

  "What you just did to me in the cell..."

  Knowing what she was going to say, Tang Yin said in a low voice: "In order to deceive people, it's just an act!"

  Wu Ying nodded understandingly, the Tang Yin she knew was not a lecherous man. She bit her lip and said: "Earlier... I'm sorry!" After a pause, she urged: "Please find a way to rescue my sister!"

  "Alright!" Tang Yin replied: "I will do my best!"

  Mu Song sent Wu Ying to follow the crowd to the secret path, and then Tang Yin no longer stayed. He brought the divided body of the hidden arrow personnel, mounted his war horse, and rushed straight to the Wang Palace.
